Apr 14, 2014

Rose-Hulman’s Hank Akard (Indianapolis, Ind./Ben
Davis) helped the Engineers finish 4-1 overall and 4-0 in
HCAC play last week and has been named the Heartland Collegiate
Athletic Conference Baseball Hitter of the Week.

The senior center fielder finished 13-of-24 (.542) at the plate
with seven runs scored, four doubles, two home runs, eight RBI, and
four stolen bases to set the RHIT career stolen bases record
(43).

Rose beat Anderson in a single contest and swept a three-game
series with Mount St. Joseph to move back atop the league standings
with Manchester.

Rose-Hulman (16-8, 11-3 HCAC) will travel to Franklin and host
Earlham this week.
